InDesign Course – how it works

Your InDesign course starts from getting in touch followed by a chat with me to discuss your exact requirements and together we work out the best InDesign training for you. You are more than welcome to send over files and images that you will work with to include on the course or as prior examples.

  • Private InDesign Tuition relevant to your company
    Specific content

Laptop Hire

Short of a laptop or 6? If so, then I can supply laptops and projector hire and take care of all aspects of your InDesign training course – again, please don’t hesitate to get in touch for an informal chat about your needs. Upon arrival the laptops will be pre-loaded with your preferred version of the software and set up prior to the training. All that is needed from you is the delegates and electric sockets.

 

As well as the Midlands I also cover most of the UK including Liverpool, York, Leeds, Sheffield, Oxford, Cheltenham, Chester, Wales so please get in touch to discuss availability in your area.
